Game 65: Phoenix Suns (33-20) @ Cleveland Cavaliers (39-25) | March 7th, 2015

[Sebastian]

The Cavs are playing some great ball but they still have a few bad habits that can get them into trouble in the playoffs.

Liked the defensive intensity quarters 2-3.

Atlanta gonna get beat by Philly...I guess they arent invincible like people think

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Lol Atlanta just got beat by a team on a suicide mission.

Thank god for an easy win...

LOL at that 4th quarter... Our bench is so bad...

 

[Sean King 87]

Our lack of depth from the bench is a real concern.

Idk but it has always annoyed me. Or off a rubber rim every time it hits the rim. Or a healthy 3 when half the time it is an awful timing shot. Fred could certainly mix things up better.

Yeah, those other things annoy me at times too, but at least they make some sense, even if they're poorly timed. Saying "3-0" when a guy makes a three... what is that? If a guy wore No. 30? Fine. If it were a shot from 30-feet? Perfectly reasonable. If it happened early in the game and the score was literally 3-0? Great.

But, randomly saying "3-0"? I don't get it.

I still thought they'd win, but they were sitting three starters.

That's still not a good excuse. They still have their two best players, and they can't beat a worthless team like them? Philly is so bad, they're trying to lose.

Goes to show that game last night against us meant a lot to them, and they were worn down.

 

[Real Deal]

3 3-0 is Akron related. I thought he only said it for LeBron's 3?

Since he says it after the "three", it's basically 330, i.e. Akron/Canton area code.

I don't dispute that. Hell, the whole reason they sat Korver, Millsap, Carroll and Antic was entirely about how much of a mental and physical toll last night took on them. Unlike us, they haven't played 5 games in 7 nights. They had a couple days off before playing us, in fact.

No doubt that win meant a ton to them and they paid the price tonight. But, I still think it is only fair to point out their missing pieces, especially when people say things like "I guess they're not invincible" in reference to tonight's game against the Sixers.

Hmm. Is that really it? I thought I remembered him doing it prior to James' return at times, too. If it is an area code thing, it's still stupid, but at least it makes some sense.

It goes to show how heavily RELIED they are on everyone, too. Horford and Teague played terrible tonight, after balling last night by the way.

Just looking at the Sixers roster, I bet the GM himself doesn't know half the players names on this shitty team.

My gosh they are terrible.

I mean granted we lost to the 76ers on a skeleton crew night, but ours was dreadful as we had no LBJ, Kyrie, and we had just made the Dion trade so we were basically down to nobody lol but Love.

That night may go down in Cavs history as the turning point of the franchise, however. It all started when us board watchers noticed Dion's absence and McMenamin retweeting Scoop Jardine lol.

It's his idea of a tribute to Akron's area code, 330. Fred makes me miss Reghi pretty regularly...

 

[CardiacCavs]

330 is Akron's area code. Just so you know.
